However, Kings fans aren’t the only ones hoping the city will move forward with the plan. Businesses within walking distance of Downtown Plaza like KBAR welcome a complex that may draw more traffic downtown.

“We’re all really excited about it," said Joshua Coleman, manager at KBAR. "It brings a lot of kinds of opportunity to revamp K Street, bring a lot of life to the area.”

Oishii Sushi & Karaoke Bar is also expecting to see a boost in business with a new arena, manager Will Chang told KCRA 3.

However, the fate of the Kings and that of the proposed downtown arena remains up in the air.

“The city has done a great job. Investors have done a great job. Now it’s time for the NBA to see if it really cares,” Lopez said.

Sacramento City Manager John Shirey wants the Sacramento City Council to vote on the arena plan on Tuesday to give them enough time to prepare before presenting it to the NBA the following week.
